• Didn't work

  10/25/2013

  Pros

  None. Waste of time.

  Cons

  Monitor screen comes up, but no data after two days. Installation puts toolbar on browser, changes search engine. Provided no option to avoid this. Also put unwanted icons on desktop.

• Does not work with Win 7, does not fully uninstall

  tg365010/8/2013

  Pros

  Documentation is horrible. There are a couple of web sites; one refers to screens that don't exist in the current version... this is an all-around train wreck.

  Cons

  As others have noted, if you have Win 7 don't bother. Worse, when I uninstalled it, the Win 7 uninstaller didn't get all of it, so I now get a 'file not found' error upon logging on.

  Summary

  I'd pay for a decent program. This is not it.

• Malware/Spyware included without asking for persmission

  seraphmaiel7/13/2013

  Pros

  None to report - I do not want to use something that fills my machine with unwanted programs.

  Cons

  Filled with unwanted spyware/malware that self-install without letting you even have a CHANCE to say "no" to them.

  Summary

  A huge disappointment; CNET should warn us that there might be unwanted software BESIDES the one you came here to download. After having to install CNET's downloader, I proceeded to install the so-called Bandwidth Monitor Pro and I was NEVER prompted about the spyware and malware that it was coming with. In my case, a search bar/browser plug-in and three other crapware. My ZoneAlarm went crazy during the install, I should have trusted it and just aborted; sadly, I turned it off and now my computer will never be the same again, because who can tell with 100% certainty my spyware removal programs got everything? TL; DR: If you want to infest your PC with malware, be my guest and download this program...

• didn't measure; installs claro-search

  ben-cnet11/27/2012

  Pros

  claro-search was relatively easy to uninstall

  Cons

  * though I opted out by unchecking the box, it set the homepage and default to claro-search * it installed 3 malware programs (claro-search, claro ADT, Browser Manager) which took me about 2 hours to delete fully* from my browsers * always displayed zero bandwidth usage (Lenovo t61p, Win7, en_US, while watching vimeo.com HD on built-in Wifi)

  Summary

  Very disappointed in CNET allowing this kind of malware on their site.

• Very Easy To Use

  mikefrancesconi12/10/2011

  Pros

  Detailed logging,Always control,Highly customizable,Advanced alert system

  Cons

  Bandwidh monitor pro does not support newer windows like windows vista,windows 7 or beyond.

  Summary

  Very useful to see how much bandwidth you are using.But there last update was in Jan 25, 2005,so I do not think there will be any newer updates anytime in the near future.There support e-mail does not work,because I try sending a e-mail to ask a question and that was to see if there would be any updates to support newer windows and e-mail never got to it destination,>>Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently<<

• Doesn't replace XP taskbar icon

  ranchette1/4/2011

  Pros

  I just want something for Win7 that would show wireless connection speed in the taskbar as the old Network Connections icon did in XP. This has a lot of info, but not that functionality. Still useful.

  Cons

  Can't be configured to imitate old Network Connections icon showing just connection speed.
